Nightline Demolishes Anti-Kerry Swift Boat Story

[WODIN]

ABC News Nightline went to Vietnam and interviewed villagers who witnessed the firefight in February 1969 that led to John Kerry being awarded a Silver Star. The incident is a center piece of the allegations made by the so-called 'Swift Boat Veterans for Truth', whose leader John O'Neill has claimed that there was no firefight and that Kerry shot dead a fleeing teenager. Nightline's detailed interviews with the villagers, including former Viet Cong fighters who took part in the incident, verified Kerry's account of events. When confronted by Nightline's Ted Koppel, a clearly rattled O'Neill refused to address the content of the report.

And the really cool thing is that Nightline sent a reporter to Vietnam and they found people who were there at the time. Great stuff. Blows away the entire swifty lie.

[Gambino]

the whole anti-kerry/swift thing was bullshit from the get go, irrelevant in my eyes for the election. how reliable are these villagers? surely they could be coerced into saying just about anything...

how reliable are these villagers?

As reliable as any other source connected to the issue.
Certainly more reliable the O'Neil.
